Y'know, I can get behind this decision, but there are tons of people posting about how they just landed on flights. Fans are gonna lose serious cash on travel expenses.
Raleigh's gonna take an economic hit. That'll piss off their representative who voted against this bill, but no one outside of Raleigh's gonna give two shits.

I dont agree with them with this...its a bolder move to play there and make a statement...quitting? whats the point on not playing at all? You want to make a statement? play there, invite people to discuss whats happening, make a very cool setlist, do something.

Gotta agree with you. I don't really see much of a statement being made here. The only thing this does is upset and cost fans a lot of money who have been waiting nearly a decade to see the band in NC. The majority of said fans agree with the views of the band and don't support discriminatory laws. Why not use the opportunity to make a bigger statement and motivate people to get up and do something about it. Sorry guys. Hope they make it up at a later date.

Can't wait for the mix cd
Actually the song placement of this set is very PJ like.

of course pearl jam cancelling a show isn't going to turn the tide on its own, but when enough bands, businesses, etc. boycott the state, it can make a financial impact, which is how you change things in a capitalist country.
